Nothing personal joy division but I also have a surname that is not very 'German' and it is still my native language. Things like that can really have negative effects on you anyways so ppl should not stress it too much. Just my two cents.

It was absolutely not my intention to wake up any thoughts that you are bringing in a line with my comment and I desperately hope you know that. But thanks for your hint.
It was just the fact that also his first name is Polish what made me wonder in the first moment.

Btw., I`m German and my surname is of Russian/Slawian origin. That`s nothing unusual in Germany being a melting pot of many different nations through out all times of it`s history.

I dunno, I just find it cute (actually I love Mona's goth mum ) and can totally picture her squirming with her iPad to take snaphots of her daughter

Well Richard Williams kept taking photos of his daughters because he felt that it was way too expensive to buy photos from photographers.

My mum said Mona is beautiful. She felt really sorry for her skin condition.
She was cheering Mona with me yesterday even though it was the 1st time she saw her.

Good to hear you also share my experience because I sometimes get the impression that people named "Müller", "Meier", "Schulze" don't really know what they do when they ask about your heritage and everything. I always feel they put me in a different category right away.

On her coach Jacek Szygowski -
I was quite astonished when I heard him talking because despite his Polish name he sounded like a native German speaker. There is absolutely no accent. When I was looking for him on google I found this :

So he is a coach of the Orlik tennis school (http://www.rota.pro/) and a former German tennis player.
I think he fits very well with his calm attitude to Mona. Then I was watching again their talk in the match against Mladenovic on tennisTVcom.
He reminded me a little bit of Angie`s coach, Torben Beltz. Talking a lot and very fast, a mixture of some technical advices and encouragement.

It was obvious that they are not yet very close to each other.
After some time he asked her whether she is feeling fine because he seemed not get a feetback from Mona towards his advices. In the end Mona was smiling shy but bright when Szygowski was praising the way she had been playing so far.

Looking at the informations that we have it seems to be a teamwork on approval. Her mum is still around her and she still needs her on the tournaments.
So this is not meant to be a complete new order in her surroundings but a useful addition.
For now it has worked perfectly, so they seem to have done the right thing.

Lisicki´s mother was also around in Pattaya City. They just need to stick to the morale support. Just leave all the tennis based decisions and coaching to a real coach.
